MOBY: An Architecture for Distributed Expert Database Systems
Summary: MOBY distributes rule-based expert database systems by combining indexing, horizontal partitioning, and a rule interpreter. With balanced data, analysis and simulation show effective parallelism scaling to roughly 40% of processor count over a local-area network. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
